I'm just going to write my thoughts and leave.

I've uninstalled League just now for one main reason and a few smaller reasons that stem from it. Time, i think i can repeat the thoughts of many who have left when i say this game takes up too much time. Don't get me wrong i love summoners rift, back when i actually played this game i got gold 3, I've owned literally every ribbon in the game (i'm currently sporting the green one) , I've never once been banned...ever (go figure when you're not a jerk you don't get banned), i own 70+ champs and skins for a lot of them a few of them very rare (like champ riven), meaning i've dumped probably 250$ into the game and even now my account has almost 1k games. I don't have much to show off in this game, i just really want to say i've invested a lot of time, money, and energy and i'm not just writing this because i lost a few games and am pissed.

I've payed money, i supported riot and i got more than enough bang for my buck. the other game modes are fun too but tbh summoners rift is the only reason why i played this game. It's the reason why i get discontent playing heroes of the storm, it's a tried and true fun map/gametype. The map type is what everyone thinks of when they say MOBA, it's awesome.

However, and here's my gripe when i and most people play summoners rift, we have the tendency to run 40-70 minute games. It would be fine for me if i was 16 again, with not a great social life and tons of time to burn, but now that i'm in college with a job and now a life, i just can't spend time like that nor do i want to when i have it.

I honestly think the time constraint contributes to a lot of other negative factors in the game. Players seem to be more toxic since they feel trapped into investing an hour of their life into a losing non-fun round (games turn around but not before they make everyone else stressed and miserable) or suffer being banned for leaving, ranked play emulates this more with the added frustration of wasted time when you win a game and then lose a game or when your points are jacked so you come out behind after 2 wins and a loss (nothing compares to the feeling of realizing you just wasted 2 and 1/2 hours of your life because you had a trynd afk because he got mad, also i know that's not how it IS, but it very much feels that way to a lot of peopel), it's frustrating to have to be deadlocked into 40-70 minute games into conditions that you don't want and dump hour after hour after hour into playing a system that is so slow and sometimes it feels so punishing.

Not playing with people your level? play 10 games 5 STRAIGHT HOURS of uninterrupted gameplay, and it will even out a little better Want a champ? well if he's 6300 be prepared to dump, ready for this? 35 STRAIGHT HOURS of uninterrupted gameplay or you know..money Want to learn to cs? boot up those customs and cs to 15 minutes, most guides suggest do this around 10 times or more before going to the next step so 2 STRAIGHT HOURS to improve your ability to cs with ONE champion Want game knowledge hit up those guides and videos....okay i can't give a time on this but needless to say if you want comprehensive knowledge you're going to spend more than a collective hour in research

Oh and if you take an extended break (like i did) all that skill and rank diminishes so all the time you dumped has to be dumped again I'll stop and get to my statement

Riot i love summoners rift, i've gotten mad, happy and all that stuff playing your game, but i'm done with it, i don't have the time nor the patience to deal with the time dump, angry people, frustration at my own lack of skill, and all the other negative things that is associated with it anymore.

If you make a version of summoners rift that is AT MAX 30 minutes, you don't even have to replace the old one, i would install the game again in a heartbeat (so to answer the question no you can't "haev meh stuff" random forum goers) and i honestly think Riot is capable of doing so. I just want a 30 minute max version of 5v5 summoners rift with cs, dragon, baron, and all that stuff i don't accept the other game modes because honestly if i want to play anything else, Heroes of the Storm does it better.

I mean how awesome would it be to have a quicker version where you have to deal with trolls, feeders, and angry people for less time? where games could end as quickly as 15 minutes without it being a holycraproflstomp. I would absolutely love that and almost exclusively play LoL again and probably dump more money into the game.

I know this post won't cause an immediate change, but hopefully it will at least spur a discussion in a random room in Riot...and that makes it worth it to me. So after 3 years of play and almost 1k games and all ribbons earned i'm peacing out to go live life and maybe play airsoft or something

I like the long games. For short games there is always TT and ARAM

You really wouldn't get the same feel, that you would from actual SR.

Personally, I don't have the same time constraints, I'd prefer a 45 Max. Since SR is advertised anyway, into being between 30-45.

The only thing I don't like about long games is, the inverted bell curve in win rates. If your ahead, but can't close out a game, you'll lose your lead, because you can't get higher than a full build. And ending up in a stale mate with the enemy team, with no one trying to break the stalemate, cause they fear they might throw the game.

that's the only time constraint that annoys me. when things go into overtime, it's triple overtime.

Still, what on earth happened to League of Snowball that everyone was complaining about?

It is snowball meta atm actually.

I mean, even ADCs rush snowbally Assassin Items right now. It's all about snowballing in current META.
